Form #6477 Established in 1853 by Miklós Zsolnay, Zsolnay began as a small business producing basic stoneware and earthenware. Ten years later Miklós’ son, Vilmos, joined the company and led it to worldwide recognition at international exhibitions including the 1878 World Fair in Paris, where they received a Grand Prix for their ceramics and glazes. Zsolnay reached even greater heights after 1893 when they introduced their now-famous “eosin” glaze. Named after the Greek goddess of dawn, Eos, this lustrous and iridescent glaze can appear to be enamel, metal, or even glass and the colors morph depending on the angle, strength, and type of light applied to the surface. In the last decade of the 19th century, riding a high of economic prosperity and political stability in Hungary, the firm hired many Art Nouveau and Jugendstil artists to create spectacular sculptural and painterly vases and vessels. - Rago
